Hi All,
In my earlier post I mailed about Fetchmail error in slack. Now that is
solved, but filtering mail thru Spamassassin for Spam is not happening in
Slack9.1

I installed SA -2.60 in Slack and it installed OK. Only filtering does not
happen. I post the output below:
---------------
fetchmail -u srikanthns -p pop3 -m "/usr/bin/procmail -d %T" mail.vsnl.com

The same in RH9 filters spam without any problem.
What mistake am I committing here?
Is it the problem of Perl being shipped with Slack 9.1?
Does anybody have similar experiences? Pl enlighten

well, you've got some pretty verbose errors there. your first step should
be to go through them carefully and see what they tell you. while i don't
use spamassassin, the very first error already looks pretty helpful.

There ya go.

You f'd up when you installed SA. You didn't read all the directions,
or if you did, you didn't follow them.

I prefer installing SA through CPAN, myself. Automagic dependency
checking is useful, especially if you don't want to read all the
documentation accompanying a utility.

Google around for how to use CPAN, then use the above error (hint - .pm
= perl module) to install the things SA needs to work properly.

Then why don't you use RPMs with Slackware? ;-)

Why not use RPMs? After all you use PGP!

Can you please explain to us why you are using pgp in this posting?

Well, you assume I don't? ;-)

IMHO, there is a substantial difference between dependency checking in
perl module installation and dependency checking OS-wide in a
binary-only format. AFAIK, the perl dependencies are checked at perl
run-time, too... so it is not like you can get away without all the
dependencies.

How come you delete Old Yeller's pgp trash but included your own?

There is no reason for you to use pgp verification in this article.
Please show a little consideration for other posters in the future
by refraining from using pgp unless it is necessary.

Yes, there's an enormous difference. CPAN is actually done really well,
and using CPAN to do dependency checking is most excellent, plus there's
a very easy way to bypass it without screwing up your CPAN--CPAN knows
where to look (or can be easily told) for any Perl modules, not just
those installed by CPAN.

Of course, my comment was merely to get your goat. Oops, forgot the
first rule of Goat Club. Sorry Joost!
